One Guitar & Four Hands

[Jim Koepke]

It is not overly strange to see two people playing together on a piano, but two on the same guitar?

Then of course there has to be a quartet on two guitars > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo-OpQS2zdQ

jtkYears ago, at Christmas show in Myrtle Beach, they had FOUR people playing a single piano.

Each of them is only playing three strings, so it's not that technically complicated except that they're in each other's space. It is certainly impressive looking, though.

I was impressed when they seamlessly switched it up so both were playing the same strings.

[Chris Schoenthal]

Several times they also switched to one playing the left hand while the other played the right seamlessly.

Ah, you started it much better!
I’ve seen two playing the same guitar before but never interacting so intricately. I wished I could watch it in slow motion.

When I was in Barcelona last Spring, FOUR flamenco guitarists played a single guitar together.

The song? Billie Jean by Michael Jackson.

My jaw dropped.

Not your father's flamenco.

And then there's this group.... Walk off the Earth. Pretty talented musically overall. They have numerous videos and performances.

The flip side of that whole thing is either Stanley Jordan or Robert Culbertson: two hands playing what (sounds like) multiple guitars.

Eric Clapton was listening to a recording of Robert Johnson playing Crossroads Blues and asked if any one knew who was his accompanist. The answer was Robert Johnson always played solo.

So many talented guitar players that make you wonder why they aren't famous.
Kent Nishimura (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukJEH1R4zXU) is one.

[Maurice Mcmurry]

Those two are adorable. There sound reminds me of the Assad Brothers. A very close togetherness.

[Michael Drew]

Cool. I have a thing for any stringed instrument (because I have zero artistic ability).

These multi player videos with a single instrument remind of an older favorite cellist: Giovanni's "Daydream" video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldPf3yqq3-8&list=WL&index=5
